LA’s own DJ Z-Trip comes through Subsoniq this week to chop it up with KB and Sheils (of Pitch Control). Topics covered include how to make the airport your home, a possible album collaboration with instrumental metal/dub group “The Dub Trio”, what some of Z-Trip’s biggest challenges were (in terms of playing venues, gigs, and crowds), and just how involved he was with the Obama campaign. After a long weekend of turkey and heavy drinking, avoid the family and kick it with Subsoniq and Z-Trip this Sunday night.

R.I.P. The Rhyme

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

The Rhyme (formerly Ch.65 on XM Radio) has been discontinued as a result of the merger with Sirius. Backspin (formerly ch.43 on Sirius) also did not make the cut. This leaves the merged company with absolutely NO classic hip hop channel. The genre and the channel will be greatly missed by us here at Subsoniq (this also means the end of Subsoniq Classix).

If interested, below is a link for a petition started by subscribers to help reinstate The Rhyme and RAW.

Subsoniq Classix w/DJ Deeper

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

Wed. 11/6 6pm et, Sunday 11/10 6pm et (The Rhyme ch.65 Direct TV 845)

Longtime Rhyme resident DJ Deeper is at the helm this week. Even though he will be mixing during the Subsoniq Classix timeslot, look for a lot of new gems from him in this week’s set. Its probably been a year or two since XMers have been able to hear a mix from Deeper, so we are really looking forward to seeing what he brings this week. Look for it exclusively on Subsoniq Classix. You can find more info and download links for Deeper’s mixes right here: http://www.myspace.com/djdeeper

Z-Trip’s Obama Tribute Mix on Subsoniq Classix

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

Sunday 10/5 6pm et, Wed. 10/7 6pm et, (The Rhyme ch.65 Direct TV 845)

So if you are a John McCain supporter we are guessing this mix may not quite inspire you as much as it does Obama supporters. Its very apparent to us that the vast majority of progressive hip hop artists are showing their support for Obama (or) a third party candidate this year. Our show covers the music those progressive artists make, and we never shy away from politics on the show.
Its rare that someone can infuse politics and music in such a unique way as Z-Trip does on this tribute. If your a fan of hip hop, reggae, rock, soul music and anything in between we think you’ll dig this. The mix also features Barack’s thoughts on a wide variety of topics, including hip hop. He has embraced the culture and the culture has embraced him.

Focus on Panacea/Q-Tip/Z-Trip>Obama

Saturday, October 25th, 2008

Sunday (11/2) 9pm et, Tuesday (11/24) 9 am et on RAW (ch.66, Direct TV 846)

November 4th is a huge day for both hip hop and our country in general. We elect our new president that day, the long awaited Q-Tip album drops, and all those who ordered the new Panacea album for October 28th finally get it delivered to them! (ha ha…a lil jab there folks). So in light of all these things going on over the next few days, we decided to split the show accordingly. The first hour Raw Poetic and K-Murdock (aka Panacea) sit down with KB and give some background on the making of the new album and pick out individual favs from it. We will also give a ten minute sampling of the new Q-Tip album “The Renaissance”, and allow Z-Trip to take over the last hour of the show with his recently released Obama Tribute Mix.
